A few months after Norma broke up with her boyfriend, she found out that he had posted sexually explicit selfies of her on an X-rated website called PornHub. Along with the photos, he included her first and last names, her phone number, her hometown, and a solicitation for oral sex. "I cannot get back my privacy that had been invaded when those pictures were online," Norma told a court in Newark, New Jersey. "I do not know how many people saw them, I do not know how many people saved them, and every single day I think about the fact that other people have seen me in my most private state." ? Norma's ex-boyfriend was charged under New Jersey's so-called revenge porn law and sentenced to five years' probation. The legislation makes it a crime for one person to disclose online the image of

another person in which her or his "intimate parts are exposed" without that person's approval. Thirty-three other states and Washington, D.C., also have laws that criminalize nonconsensual pornography, which can broadly be defined as the distribution of sexually graphic images of individuals without their consent. These laws cover many forms of wrongdoing, including stealing and selling nude images of celebrities and sextortion, in which the offender threatens to post explicit photographs online if the victim does not provide more such images, sexual favors, or money. Norma's ex-boyfriend was guilty of which of the following?

A. Hacking
B. Cyber crime
C. Encryption
D. Cyber fraud
